Mr. Davis? CRISIS MANAGEMENT IS NOT LEADERSHIP!!
Bears repeating.
To: Publius6961
Didn't a state court judge declare the current structure of the Coastal Commission to be unconstitutional? My understanding is the matter's on appeal.

Leadership
is what prevents the need
for crisis management.

"Please provide more details [on the bribery scandal]"I just spent 10 minutes searching and can't find the article. Grrrrr. It goes like this: There is/was a corruption prosecution over bribery type activity with the coastal commission--$$$ for development approval. In litigation by the Sac Bee to unseal the files a "Doe" attorney filed an action on behalf of a "Doe" plaintiff to keep them sealed. Walters, I believe, wrote about it and Grayout looks to be the one.
Can anyone else out there help?

Leadership is what prevents the need for crisis management. BINGO!
Davis seems unaware of this...
Incapable?
To: antaresequity
You should make one that says, "Lights Out For Davis!"
To: eureka!
How about this:
SIMON, THE SANE CHOICE
To: Grampa Dave
LOL. Works for me. You being such a big Grayout fan, you know anything about the story in Reply #25? Publius was asking. Thanks...

I kept the lights on in this state. Do you understand that? I kept the lights on.Wow, a tad touchy and defensive, dontcha think?
To: eureka!
I'm at a loss at what you and publius are looking for?.
There is so much on Davis, we need more specifics.
Try going to yahoo.com and doing a search on the writer if you can remember his name! Sometimes yahoo can access articles that the newspaper won't let you go to.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT IS NOT LEADERSHIP... especially when Davis was primarily responsible for the crisis (buying expensive long-term energy, helping prevent new power sources, etc).
To: Publius6961
Davis seems unaware of this... Incapable?
I seem to recall Davis' being quoted to the effect that of course he could have prevented the crisis by letting prices rise. So what you have out there is a classic example of a man who has to be a hero, and risks becoming a goat in order to do so. It didn't work out . . .
Californians can hope that in Simon they have someone who doesn't need to be a hero, and won't make better the enemy of good enough.

Say Good Night GRAYcie!
To: Grampa Dave
Thanks. I'll try later. I've got to get some work done. ;^)

Unbelievable, is Davis a Vietnam Vet? He is, and he won the Bronze Star there. But I wonder if he isn't suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, since this kind of bizarre behavior was also documented during his 1998 campaign.
To: goldstategop
My dear friend, Bill Simon is saying nothing for a very very good reason. When your enemy is pulling the ground from underneath himself, just stand back. The way Gray Davis is going in this campaign is worth more in itself than any campaign commercials Simon could cut attacking Davis' lack of leadership. Bill Simon doesn't like negative campaigning. He is a stealth candidate, one who will likely win in November without having run a single negative ad.

This can be set up in the 'new' Campaign 2002 forum that JimRob opened yesterday.

Oh my God! That's his website??? Yikes! That caricature looks like it's something an anti-Davis would make up! LOL.
Goldie: you know Mr. Simon? Do tell!! Enquiring minds etc! I get the *feeling* the man is truly a great leader!
